Q. Who are and what is S.A.R.T.?
A. S.A.R.T. is an airsoft team who skirmish primarily at South Yorkshire Airsoft in Sheffield, and are themed on the South Yorkshire Police ARU team. Established in early 2006, S.A.R.T. are instantly recognizable in their British police kit, and in this respect the team is unique, as few other airsoft teams to date have attempted to faithfully follow British standards, instead opting for SAS or US SWAT loadouts.
No intention is made to impersonate members of South Yorkshire Police, nor any element of the Police Services. All insignia and uniforms are worn as a part of a respectful recreation, and only worn 'in game', to add to the atmosphere and realism of airsoft.
Q. Who can join S.A.R.T.?
A. We skirmish together every couple of months, more so over the summer, and anyone is welcome to join. People with police experience are welcome on the team; however this is not a requirement. We aim to have fun, and fight to win honestly – we don’t like cheating. If you are interested in joining the team, post over on the forums, or PM Leadmill.
Q. Are there any kit requirements to join S.A.R.T.?
A. We currently have no minimum kit requirements, although members join on the understanding that kit will gradually be purchased/accumulated. We have a detailed kit list HERE, as well as a list of useful sources on this site, and on our forums. We have three main police loadouts: - Covert, Patrol and Tactical.
Q. Do S.A.R.T. wear any other kit for airsoft?
A. Yes, S.A.R.T. do wear a number of other loadouts for airsoft. This includes Stargate themed setups (a number of the team are Stargate fans), as well as Resident Evil and the usual DPM, and SF loadouts.
